I'm always hesitant to declare an election's over until the votes are counted.  But this one now feels like as close to a sure thing as I've seen since 1996.

No.

The supposed Hillary supporters need to actually vote.
That won't happen.


Your kind said the same thing in 2012.

I would be less shocked if Hillary won Kansas than if she lost the election.

Yes, because of how many votes have already been cast.

No, I didn't. I didn't think then that the turnout would be low.

It's far from over.

I'm a believer in statistics and the law of probabilities but as human nature is predisposed, there is inevitably always a drip of doubt in my mind because of the sheer possibility that he even has 10-20% chance of winning which makes me shudder.

I felt more confident with Obama's victory over Romney even though he was the heavy favorite back then as well. Somehow, Trump's ability to crawl back spouts off different dynamics of mood for me. Even a low probability like 10-20% psychologically feels closer to 50-60% chance just because of the monstrosity that he is.

Oh, and did I tell you it's not even a guarantee he'll concede even if he loses bigly?

He's like the final boss you have to beat between 3-5 before you win the game.

I felt more confident with Obama's victory over Romney because the Mitt Romney was a decent human being who would have made a fine President.  I would have been afraid of a SCOTUS that would stand in the way of social progress, but we wouldn't have gone down in flames.

The low probability of a Trump victory feels psychologically closer because of the dark place our nation is flirting with.

Yes, Hillary Clinton has won.  I would bet $300 on it.

If you make that bet on Predictit right now you'd make $75 in profit!

ROFL, posted by The Donald on Twitter a couple of hours ago:



And how is President Trump gonna do that exactly? By sending the rather large portion of the electorate who despises him to the death camps?

But to answer the question, the election was already decided in Hillary's favour on October 7, 2016 with the release of the Access Hollywood tape.

I figured that "American Unity" was a trial balloon for the name of his post-loss scam.

Romney was a reasonable right leaning moderate. And I respected him tremendously for being prepared in the first debate and speaking the right words. Somehow, even when Hillary defeats Trump in debates, there doesn't seem to be a moral victory. He's like a stain on shirt that never goes away.

That's one way of putting it. He's a human backboard.
